I-National Security Archive ithumele eziningana ezitholakalayo amadokhumenti, omunye wabo i-akhawunti kaCharles Duelfer wosesho owaholela e-Iraq ngezikhali zokubhujiswa okukhulu, nabasebenzi be-1,700 kanye nemithombo yezempi yase-US.

UDuferfer wamiswa nguMqondisi weCIA uGeorge Tenet ukuhola usesho olukhulu ngemuva kokusesha okukhulu okuholwa nguDavid Kay ukuthi wayekho ukugcinwa kwempahla ye-WMD e-Iraq. UDuferfer waqala ukusebenza ngoJanuwari 2004, ukuze angatholi lutho okwesibili, egameni labantu abaye baqala impi bazi kahle ukuthi izitatimende zabo mayelana nama-WMD aziqiniso.

Iqiniso lokuthi uDuelfer ubonisa ngokucacile ukuthi akatholanga nhlobo yamasheya e-WMD okuthiwa ayikwazi ukuphindaphindiwe ngokwanele, ne-42% yabaseMelika (namaphesenti angu-51 wamaRiphabhulikhi) namanje ukukholwa okuphambene nalokho.

A New York Times indaba Okthoba odlule mayelana nezinsalela zezinhlelo zamakhemikhali ezishiye isikhathi eside eziye zahlukunyezwa futhi zahlukunyezwa ukuthuthukisa ukungaqondi kahle. Ukufunwa kwe-Iraq namhlanje kungathola amabhomu ase-US ahlukunyezwe emuva kweminyaka eyishumi, ngaphandle kokuthola ubufakazi bokusebenza okwamanje.

UDuelfer futhi ucacile ukuthi uhulumeni kaSaddam Hussein wayephike ngokunembile ukuthi une-WMD, okuphikisana nenganekwane ethandwayo yase-US yokuthi uHussein wayezenza sengathi unakho ayengenakho.

Iqiniso lokuthi uMengameli uGeorge W. Bush, u-Vice-President uDick Cheney, kanye neqembu labo ngokuqamba amanga akukwazi ukugcizelela kakhulu. Leli qembu lithatha ubufakazi Hussein Kamel maqondana nezikhali ayethe zonakaliswe eminyakeni eyedlule, futhi wazisebenzisa ngathi wayethi zikhona njengamanje. Leli qembu lisebenzise umkhonyovu amadokhumenti ukunikeza ukuthengwa kwe-uranium. Basebenzisa izimangalo mayelana amashubhu e-aluminium lokho kwakwenqatshwe yibo bonke ochwepheshe babo abajwayelekile. "Bafingqa" iNational Intelligence Estimate ethi i-Iraq ayinakwenzeka ukuthi ihlasele ngaphandle kokuthi ihlaselwe isho okuphambene "nephepha elimhlophe" elinikezwe umphakathi. UColin Powell uthathe izimangalo e-UN eyayinqatshiwe ngabasebenzi bayo, futhi yabathinteka ngenkulumo-mpilo.

Ikomidi elikhethiwe leSenate ku-Intelligence uSihlalo uJay Rockefeller waphetha ukuthi, "Ekwenzeni icala lempi, abezokuPhatha babethula kaningi ubuhlakani njengeqiniso kanti empeleni babungenabufakazi, buyaphikisana, noma bungekho nhlobo."

NgoJanuwari 31, 2003, Bush ukuphakanyiswa kuya kuBlair ukuthi bangapopha indiza ngemibala ye-UN, bayishaye phansi ukuze bayidutshulwa, futhi ngaleyo ndlela baqale impi. Khona-ke bobabili baphuma baya enkomfeni yabezindaba lapho bathi bazogwema impi uma kungenzeka. Ukuthunyelwa kwe-Troop nokuqhuma kwamabhomu kwase kuvele kakade.

Lapho uDiane Sawyer ebuza uBush kuthelevishini ukuthi kungani enze izimangalo anazo ngezikhali okuthiwa zenziwa yi-Iraq zokubulala abantu abaningi, waphendula wathi: “Uyini umehluko? Amathuba okuthi [uSaddam] athole izikhali, uma engathola izikhali, angaba yingozi. ”

Umbiko wangaphakathi osanda kukhishwa kaDuelfer ngokuzingela kwakhe, kanye nokaKay ngaphambi kwakhe, ngoba imibono yabasabalalisi bezinkulumo ibhekisa kuhlelo luka “Saddam Hussein lwe-WMD,” uDuelfer aluphatha njengesikhungo esiphindayo, esingasasebenzi, ngokungathi ngo-2003 Ukuhlasela kwakusanda kuyibamba kwelinye lamagagasi alo angaphansi kokungabikho. UDuelfer uphinde achaze lolu hlelo olungekho "njengenkinga yezokuphepha yamazwe omhlaba eyayikhathaza umhlaba amashumi amathathu eminyaka," - ngaphandle kwalapho ingxenye yomhlaba ibambe iqhaza emphakathini omkhulu imiboniso emlandweni, owenqaba icala lase-US ngempi.

UDuelfer usho ngokusobala ukuthi inhloso yakhe kwakungukwakha kabusha "ukuzethemba ekuqaphelisweni kwezobunhloli okusongela." Vele, njengoba engatholanga ama-WMD, akakwazi ukuguqula ukungalungi “kokuqagela kokusongela.” Noma angakwazi? Lokho okwenziwa nguDuelfer esidlangalaleni ngaleso sikhathi futhi akwenzayo lapha ukusho, ngaphandle kokunikeza bufakazi, ukuthi "iSaddam yayiqondisa izinsizakusebenza ukuze zikwazi ukuphinda zikhiqize i-WMD uma nje unswinyo lwe-UN kanye nokuhlolisisa kwamazwe kuphelile."

UDuelfer uthi lowo owayekade eyiSaddam yebo amadoda, enesimo esinzima sokusho noma yini ezothokozisa obuzayo, wayemqinisekisile ukuthi uSaddam wayenazo lezi zinhloso eziyimfihlo zokuqala ukwakha kabusha iWMD ngolunye usuku. Kepha, uDuelfer uyavuma, “azikho izincwadi zale nhloso. Futhi abahlaziyi akufanele balindele ukuthola noma yini. ”

Ngakho-ke, ekuvuseleleni kabusha kukaDuelfer “umphakathi wezobunhloli” okungenzeka ukuthi maduze uzama ukuthengisela omunye “umbukiso wosongo” (ibinzana elifanela kahle lokho uFreudian angathi bakwenza), uhulumeni wase-US wahlasela i-Iraq, wacekela phansi umphakathi , wabulala abantu abangaphezu kwesigidi ngokuhamba phambili izilinganiso, abalimele, abahlukumezekile, futhi benza izigidi ezingenamakhaya, ezakhiwe inzondo i-United States, yaqeda umnotho wase-US, yaphuca inkululeko yabantu emuva ekhaya, futhi yabeka isisekelo sokwakhiwa kwe-ISIS, njengendaba hhayi "yokulungiselela" usongo olusondele "kepha lokuzama uhlelo oluyimfihlo lokuthi kungenzeka iqale ukwakha usongo oluzayo uma izimo zingashintsha ngokuphelele.

Lo mqondo “wokuzivikela ngaphambi kokunye” uyefana neminye imiqondo emibili. Kufana nezizathu esisanda kuzinikwa muva nje ngeziteleka ze-drone. Futhi kufana nolaka. Lapho nje “ukuzivikela” seluliwe ukuthi kufake ukuzivikela ezinsongweni zesayensi ezizayo, iyeka ukuzihlukanisa ngokwethembeka nolaka. Futhi nokho uDuelfer ubonakala ekholelwa ukuthi uphumelele esabelweni sakhe.
